A man who missed out on formal education because he bravely became a full-time carer for his mother as a teen has welcomed plans by the new West Midlands Mayor to tackle unemployment.
The new plan announced on Wednesday by Richard Parker sets out the offer to young people to ensure they have the best possible start to their working lives through meaningful advice, support services and pathways, in addition to a commitment to creating 20,000 new work experience, training placements and apprenticeships by working with partners and businesses across the region.
